Son One is at a skateboarding camp this week, and he loves it!

Son One tends to be a little fearful and timid when trying new things - especially when there is a potential for injury. He isn't fearless like his siblings. Actually, Son Two is a scaredy-cat when it comes to rollercoaster and waterslides, so maybe each kid just has their thing.

Who knew that there were some many different and amazing camp options out there? Whatever your child's interest, you can find something for them. AND it works out well because you are not committing to a year of an activity, just a week. So if they aren't as interested as they think, they don't have to go back!

In Toronto I find camps fill up rather early. Our favourites this summer have been this skateboard camp, the ROM camp for Son Two, and Swansea Tennis camp (our third year at both ROM and Swansea).

Yes, I called Sick Kids Hospital and ensured that their best orthopedic surgeon wasn't on holidays before I signed Son One up for this week. The camp requires helmets, knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards. They also work with kids a lot and really seem to know what they are doing!

Next week we don't have any camps scheduled. This means that Mommy and Kids will get to sleep in. YEAH! Maybe Monday will be our Pajama Day.
